| I definitely agree that Olds had HORRIBLE leadpipes. I think they soldered the recievers too hot, and this causes the pipe to slowly bend over time.
My Ambassador's pipe bends slightly, and theres a small crack on the leadpipe near the tune slide. Also, the tuning slide is almost completely scrap. Lacquer is about 35%, and the valves need some work.....
STILL, in many ways, it plays superior to my 94 Strad that I love so dearly. Its shocking, how this little $30.00$ p.o.s. that I bought from a ma and pa shop plays better than this $2000.00 ditty.
Definitely something I may consider doing in the future, modifying my Olds.
